“Like, how much?” Eleanor asked, her eyes widening with curiosity. “World banks hold billions of dollars in their reserves.”“Yes,” Ryker replied, a faint smile touching the corners of his lips. “These undercover agents, once they gain access, take as much as they possibly can. The larger the amount they manage to steal, the greater their reward for the job. . As for blackmailing, that comes into play whenever someone, perhaps an ‘honest man’ who dares to oppose a member of The Circle, tries to challenge or expose us. If such a person attempts to bring charges or stir trouble, The Circle sends its lawyers, skilled men who know how to twist the law to their favor. They frame the opponent with fabricated evidence and bring him to court with charges. In the end, the man will have to drop the case, but even then, his story does not end there. He will be eliminated, silenced forever, and his family often along with him. Anyone who stands against a member of The Circle, so long as the matt

Back at Mr Khan’s base, most of his men had already descended into the underground house, leaving only a few individuals still moving quietly along the corridors of the first floor. Inside the office, Lily sat directly across from Mr Khan, her hands resting on her lap. She let out a long, weary sigh, her face pale with worry as she spoke.“We are already well into the afternoon, and I still have not heard from Liam. Can you not at least allow me to speak with him?” she asked, her voice trembling with concern and worry. “Since you would not let me go to the city to help him, then you should at least permit me to hear his voice, to know how he is doing and what his condition might be.”Mr Khan leaned back in his chair, letting out a deep breath, a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he responded.“I know the man I trained, and I understand him better,” he began. “Liam was one of my finest students, a young man of remarkable skill and discipline. His mastery of martial art

"Return my money back to me, fool," Mrs Evans yelled furiously, her voice echoing through the room. Her face tightened with rage as she pointed a trembling finger at Mrs Peter. "You should settle me without causing more problems here. I will stop at nothing to collect back my money from you, bitch. Hand over my money to me at once."Meanwhile, Lily mistakenly hit a chair as Mrs Evans shoved her, causing her head to start bleeding. . She pressed her hand lightly against the wound, breathing heavily.After a few moments of gathering her strength, Lily slowly stood up to her feet, her legs shaking slightly. Then, she took a deep breath and clenched her fist tightly.."You two should stop fighting," Lily cried out from a short distance, as she broke into a run toward them. As soon as she reached them, she seized Mrs Evans by the wrist and yanked her hand away from Mrs Peter’s neck, then pushed her back with all her strength ."How many times will I tell you to stop quarrelling here?" she

"Am I not fair with my judgment?" Mr Khan asked, a gentle smile forming at the corner of his lips as he directed his gaze toward Mrs Evans. “I am not sure if you still have any other complaints to raise, but I urge you to put an end to this dispute. Please, stop stirring unnecessary trouble, because if you continue, it may eventually drag you into consequences you would not want to face. I appreciate your cooperation and I hope you will heed this advice."Mrs Evans stood still, staring at Mr Khan in disbelief. She looked him over from head to toe with disdain. . Finally, she could no longer suppress her feelings, and with a sharp hiss of discontent, she spat out her words. "Bunch of idiots," she said coldly before turning her back on them and storming out of the place.Mr Khan quickly turned his attention to Mrs Peter, who had been standing quietly. "Please, next time…" he began, but before he could complete his statement, Mrs Peter quickly interjected, her voice carrying a mixture of

“You are weak!”This only fueled the fire in Killer’s eyes. His fists clenched.. “I swear that you are going to regret saying this,” he hissed, his voice trembling with fury. “You will pay for this with your life when I am done with you. And I promise you, I am not going to spare you.”Without hesitation, he lunged at her with force. Elena instinctively stepped back, narrowly avoiding his swinging fist. The crack of his knuckles against the standing fan echoed like a gunshot.Elena’s breath came in sharp bursts. As Killer advanced again, Elena ducked low and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding another furious swing. She grabbed a nearby metal rod. The killer turned, surprised at her quick movement, but his anger only grew. He charged again, this time aiming for her midsection. Elena shifted her weight, using his momentum against him, and struck him sharply in the shoulder with the metal rod.“You think that will stop me?” he roared. “ Die!".Elena kept moving, circling him, looking
